A random sample of 30 households was selected as part of a study on electricity usage, and the number of kilowatt-hours (kWh) wa

grin007 [14]

Answer:

The 98% confidence interval for the mean usage in the March quarter of 2006, in kWh, was (333.87, 416.13).

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the standard deviation for the sample, which means that the t-distribution is used to solve this question.

The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 30 - 1 = 29

98% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 29 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of $1 - \frac{1 - 0.98}{2} = 0.99$ . So we have T = 2.462

The margin of error is:

$M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 2.462\frac{91.5}{\sqrt{30}} = 41.13$

In which s is the standard deviation of the sample and n is the size of the sample.

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 375 - 41.13 = 333.87 kWh

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 375 + 41.13 = 416.13 kWh

The 98% confidence interval for the mean usage in the March quarter of 2006, in kWh, was (333.87, 416.13).

4a^2 - 7b + 2ab - a^2 + b

Andrej [43]

Answer:

3a^2 - 6b + 2ab

Step-by-step explanation:

Put all the like terms together

(4a^2 - a^2) - (7b + b) + 2ab

then simplify

(4a^2 - a^2) = 3a^2

(-7b + b) = -6b

then rewrite

3a^2 - 6b + 2ab

A rectangles tabletop has a length of 4 3/4 feet and a area of 11 7/8 square feet what is the width of the tabletop

Natalija [7]

Area is length times width. Therefore, width is area divided by length. Convert 11 7/8 to the improper fraction 95/8 and convert 4 3/4 to 19/4. Then, you can fine 95/8 divided by 19/4 by flipping the second fraction and multiplying so that you have 95/8 times 4/19. 4 times 95 is 380 and 8 times 19 is 152. Therefore, the answer is 380/152. This is equivalent to 5/2 or 2.5.

a person is standing on top of a smaller building looking across the street at a taller building, which is 260 feet away horizon

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

The height of the smaller building is <u>94.63 feet</u>, computed using the trigonometric ratios.

In the question, we take AB to be the taller building, where A is its top and B is its base, CD to be the shorter building, where C is its top and D is its base, and CE to be the perpendicular from C to AB.

Given that the horizontal distance between the two buildings is 260 feet, we can say that BC = CE = 260 feet.

The angle of elevation from the top of the shorter building to the top of the taller building is 30°, that is, ∠ECA = 30°.

The angle of depression from the top of the shorter building to the base of the taller building is 20°, that is, ∠ECB = 20°.

When ∠ECB = 20°, then ∠CBD = 20°, as they are alternate angles.

We are asked to find the height of the shorter building, that is, we are asked to find CD.

In ΔCBD,

tan ∠CBD = CD/BD {perpendicular/base},

or, tan 20° = CD/260,

or, CD = 260*tan 20° = 260*0.36397023426 {∵ tan 20° = 0.36397023426},

or, CD = 94.6322609092.

Therefore, the height of the smaller building is <u>94.63 feet</u>, computed using the trigonometric ratios.

Given the function h(x), determine the functions which correctly decompose h(x) into component functions f(x) and g(x) so that h

nataly862011 [7]

$\text{Hi there! :)}$

$\large\boxed{g(x) = 7x + 2\text{ , } f(x) = \sqrt{x} - 10}$

$\text{h(x) = f(g(x)), so determine what g(x) was substituted into f(x):}\\\\\text{Given the equation } h(x) = \sqrt{7x +2}- 10:\\\\\text{In the part of the equation with a variable, we see that "7x + 2" is in a square root:}$

$\text{Therefore, we can say that g(x) = 7x + 2:}\\\\\text{If h(x) = f(7x + 2), then f(x) must be:}\\\\f(x) = \sqrt{x} - 10$

$\text{The respective functions would be:}\\\\g(x) = 7x + 2\\\\f(x) = \sqrt{x} - 10$
